You should have an extra set of caps filled with developer just before turning off the lights. Then, you unscrew each tube, in the dark, and screw onto the caps filled with developer. At this point, no developer is touching any film. Once you've got all the tubes transferred, turn on the lights, grab the tubes and shake for about 10 secs. Toss into the water bath and immediately start spinning.
I've done this with the 8x10 tubes for nearly 30 years without a single hiccup.
